Patient Reviews
Aug 26, 2024
Dr. Waldrop did both total knee replacements on the same day on my brother. He said if he had to have them done do both. Dr. Waldrop said it depends on the anesthesiologist. If everything is going good bleeding, vital signs, etc., we will do both. They did both and he did great!
